Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to another episode of I Tell You What. So
a little update from yesterday. The big news from Yeah,
the smoke from a distant fire is black. So there
is no new pope from what I understand. You guys
a Catholic, Can you guys fill me in on all
the basics here. I'm Lutheran, so I'm kind.

Speaker 2 (00:21):
Of I don't.

Speaker 3 (00:22):
Yeah, Hawthorne State is so on top of all of
the stuff with the selection of the pope, and he
understands it way more than I.

Speaker 2 (00:29):
Like, yes, is he watching the Chimney cam? Yeah?

Speaker 3 (00:32):
I think I was, like, yes, I think.

Speaker 2 (00:34):
He was d this is the draft. This is bigger than.

Speaker 1 (00:40):
Yeah, Jesus just comes out.

Speaker 2 (00:47):
I think cardinals are on the client.

Speaker 3 (00:50):
Hawthorn. He went to a private Catholic school all growing
up and everything, and I just grew up going to
church and I don't know. I consider myself a good Catholic.
But he's just way more educated in all things than
I am. So we should just wake him up. Actually,
you think he's awake, we should call him and ask one.

Speaker 1 (01:04):
Hundred and thirty three cardinals from all over the world.
They are just they locked themselves in this room and
I saw a video of it yesterday, Like the door's shutting.
It's this big official thing they get, like these big
cardinal guards and everything.

Speaker 2 (01:17):
They doors shut like a vault.

Speaker 3 (01:19):
Do you think the food's any good?

Speaker 2 (01:21):
Do they get food?

Speaker 3 (01:23):
Are they just fascina?

Speaker 2 (01:27):
Let's just vote for this guy and get out. You
think that would affect the vote, wouldn't it? You think?

Speaker 1 (01:32):
So what does it take two thirds of one hundred
and thirty three? Yeah, so they just said that they're
in there yesterday for what three hours? Two inconclusive votes
signaled by black smoke. So at the end of the day,
everyone's toing and I guess everyone peering at the chimney
yesterday they couldn't tell it first if it was black
or or what it was at first. So oh, I

(01:53):
mean you'd think you know right away, but they were
just kind of looking at it, going hey, wait a minute,
and then they had to give it a second.

Speaker 2 (01:57):
But I mean, a smoke starts a little light, I guess,
and then poof, you know, and who does that?

Speaker 1 (02:03):
So like a designated fire guy, and they put this
chimney in, don't they just why wouldn't they just leave
the chimney in? Do you see they had installation of
the chimney over the weekend. Why wouldn't you have that.
There's gonna be more popes because all these guys that
go in are like close to ninety years old, aren't they.

Speaker 2 (02:17):
I mean they're pretty old.

Speaker 3 (02:18):
They're all pretty old when they get started.

Speaker 1 (02:20):
I mean, not to be disrespectful, it's like, do they say,
take the chimney down, I'm gonna be here for a
little while, because it's really you know, but.

Speaker 2 (02:26):
The chimney goes down.

Speaker 3 (02:28):
I don't know they answered to that.

Speaker 1 (02:30):
They just keep voting until until they get what it's
like being sequestered. It's like being a juror and you're sequestered.

Speaker 3 (02:37):
Yeah, they have to give up their phones and whatnot,
and if they're caught on them, they get like shunned
from the church like forever.

Speaker 2 (02:42):
Do they have phones? Cardinals have phones? Yeah? I guess yeah.

Speaker 3 (02:46):
I mean I don't know. They're real. I think that
what people forget is they are real people with yes,
well well.

Speaker 1 (02:52):
Yes, but they are also very very unique, the very
devote they are. I didn't know that you could sit
and play Minecraft and vote for a pope at the
same same time.

Speaker 3 (03:00):
Well, I think that's the point that Dubs is saying
is they can't be on their phones.

Speaker 2 (03:03):
But you can hide that you get a gigantic robe.

Speaker 3 (03:06):
So they're all pretty old, so I'm sure that they're
not just like messing on their phones. Also, you know
the text is like thirty eight font. Oh yeah, it's
like two letters P per screen.

Speaker 2 (03:15):
Hey now.

Speaker 3 (03:17):
Is your You're fine? You have like normal size.

Speaker 2 (03:19):
I've got normal sized fun Yeah.

Speaker 3 (03:21):
Yeah, it is funny though when someone's got it like
super sized.

Speaker 2 (03:25):
Yeah, that is like one letter at a time. I
didn't see that. So we sit and we wait.

Speaker 1 (03:31):
Yes, but you guys as as Catholics, like, do you
talk about this in church? I mean, is this something
that's like a topic every week like or is it
pray for a new pope? Yeah, that kind of thing
is just very general. Or do you guys get like
real specific and stuff because we don't. I don't.

Speaker 2 (03:44):
We don't really mention it much in the Lutheran Church.

Speaker 1 (03:46):
I mean, I'm sure I think is it like it's
in the prayers that's always wanting with you guys, but
nothing really specific.

Speaker 3 (03:52):
Not super specific.

Speaker 1 (03:53):
No, I don't think their enemies, the Lutherans and the Catholics,
we're like, we're Catholic light. Lutherans are like Catholic light. Yeah,
you know, we go straight Jesus. You guys kind of
pray through Mary and everything, and you know, I respect both.
Both options were just told through Martin Luther in the
back of the Reformation. Just go right to the big guy. Yeah,
doors always open, that kind of thing.

Speaker 3 (04:10):
It's a different way of doing it, sure, but.

Speaker 1 (04:12):
You don't know if they if they have like this
PowerPoint up there in your church. Does your church have
the big screens?

Speaker 3 (04:18):
No, we don't have big Yeah, we don't have big.

Speaker 2 (04:21):
Sperience, you don't have the big screen. I love the
big screens. Is that a Lan thing?

Speaker 3 (04:25):
I don't know if it's a Lutheran thing. It might be,
but it's our church is pretty old school. But I've
been to other churches, other Catholic churches, and I don't
remember them having like big screens or anything, even like
the I went to want any Dina, but I can't remember.
I don't think they had big screens.

Speaker 1 (04:39):
But it probably varies per church. I don't know if
it is per you know what denomination you are. I mean,
I know a lot of the evangelical free churches. I mean,
they've had big screens for a lot longer time. But
I'm in a Lutheran church and it's got the big screens.
I've never had the gall to ask. I was kind
of like wondering sometime if they'd, you know, maybe have
a super Bowl party, because the.

Speaker 2 (04:58):
Sounds really good in I got two big screens in there.
They should.

Speaker 3 (05:04):
I think that churches in general, they like and getting
involved in things that people want to be involved in.

Speaker 1 (05:09):
Have some food, you know what I mean, and have
a nice little prayer before the game, and all that
kind of stuff.

Speaker 2 (05:14):
The Vikes are ever in it. That's perfect. Put it
in there.

Speaker 3 (05:17):
That would be like the best super Bowl party ever.

Speaker 1 (05:19):
I know my guy's a die hard Vikings fan. Though
our pastor is a diehard Vikings fan. I know he'd say,
probably we could probably put it in all the churches
and all the prayers in the world.

Speaker 2 (05:27):
This team's never going to win Super Bowl.

Speaker 3 (05:29):
It's probably never. Know, it could happen.

Speaker 2 (05:30):
I just know that's what he'd probably hear it.

Speaker 3 (05:32):
If you're a die hard Vikings fan, you feel like
there's a shot always true. It seems like Lutheran churches. Uh,
because I don't know Catholic churches. I haven't seen one
that has like a big screens like that. It seems
like the Catholic churches that I've been to are generally
seem much more old fashioned, old school and kind of
their style building. Yeah, very ornate and when you like

(05:54):
look at it from the outside. This is gonna sound
so stupid, but to me, a lot of times when
I see a Catholic church, I feel like it looks
very church. And then a lot of times Lutheran churches
look a little bit more modern.

Speaker 1 (06:03):
Yeah, do you agree with ours? Does ours like you've
you've pulled in, You've dropped me off the church before.
It's very modern looking.

Speaker 3 (06:08):
Yeah, and it's not a rip, it's just different.

Speaker 2 (06:10):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (06:10):
A lot of times it.

Speaker 1 (06:11):
Just seems well, I would say a lot of older
Lutheran churches are very much like catholice.

Speaker 2 (06:14):
I could, I could totally like I grew up in
one that was very big.

Speaker 1 (06:17):
And ornate and yeah, yeah, not like that, but it was,
you know, it's kind of in the middle. The one
I'm in now is very uh yeah, very mod kind
of boxy.

Speaker 3 (06:26):
Yeah, I think our Lady of Grace. That's the one.
I was trying to think of any dyna. That one,
to me seems like the most modern looking Catholic church.

Speaker 2 (06:33):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (06:34):
We put a good friend of mine to rest there
really a long time ago. Albaron is in his funeral
and when through that that church it is a little
more modern. That's when he kind of has the lighter wood,
the honeyelk, that kind of thing, more of an eighties
nineties kind of feel to it, you know, that was popular.

Speaker 2 (06:49):
At the time.

Speaker 3 (06:49):
My parents got married there and I was baptized there.

Speaker 1 (06:52):
Really a Lady of Grace. I think that's where our boss.
I think that's where he goes.

Speaker 3 (06:56):
I think it is.

Speaker 1 (06:57):
Yeah, I think he could use a few more trips,
to be honest with you. I mean I think it maybe.

Speaker 2 (07:01):
A little bit more, you know, just dunk them in
the Holy.

Speaker 3 (07:06):
And Hawthorne and I did, uh what it? I can't
remember what it's called. But like when your Catholic couples
have to go through, we did that training thing or
not training, well, like a couple's retreat, a couple's retreat. Yes,
we did ours our Lady of Grace, no kidding, So.

Speaker 1 (07:21):
That even though you were away out there in Maple Lake.
They sent you to that church.

Speaker 3 (07:24):
Yeah, so what what it is like?

Speaker 2 (07:26):
The combine kind of right?

Speaker 3 (07:27):
Kind of Yeah, basically you basically like they give you
a bunch of weekends.

Speaker 2 (07:31):
The compatibility thing and stuff too. Did you do that?
We did that.

Speaker 1 (07:34):
Steph and I were the biggest. We were the highest
compatibility this pastor's ever seen. And he never would have
predicted that. I'm such a smart ass and she's not.
She's the Disney princess. But we melded so together. He
literally said, I've never seen anyone score this high. He
came out of his office. I'll never forget it. He's like,
I've never seen anyone score this.

Speaker 3 (07:51):
He probably thought you cheated.

Speaker 2 (07:54):
There's a way that I would do.

Speaker 3 (07:57):
You guys also do a thing where you get like
paired up with the older couple in the church and
like mentor you, I loved that.

Speaker 2 (08:02):
Yeah, that didn't last long, and I don't I don't
think it was that long.

Speaker 3 (08:05):
Ours. Ours lasted a while. I think we met up
with them like four or five times twice. Okay, we
filled up a little questionnaire thing.

Speaker 2 (08:13):
Yep, yep, Yeah, I don't think ours was even more
than a day or two.

Speaker 3 (08:16):
I remember, really, no, we've met up with ours like
weekly or bi weekly or something for a while. I
really enjoyed it a lot.

Speaker 1 (08:21):
It's kind of like Alcoholics Anonymous. I guess you got
a sponsor, you know, Yeah, that's me funny. I mean
it's a good program. I have a lot of friends
that have used it and it's worked out wonderfully. But
it just kind of reminded me that a little bit. Yeah,
it's kind of like the you know AA version there
in church. Well, we've covered a lot here this morning,
so no new Pope yet. We'll keep you posted. Do
